No surprises there then! Who would you be thinking at a similar level then?

Ok fine, just have no idea who you were thinking in a deal, thats all.

I'm guessing 6 nations players aren't available for this weeks games, do I have any injuries?

Players of yours I am interested in are:

PR Dan Cole (England)*
PR Marco Ayerza (Argentina)
LK Geoff Parling (England)*
BR Tom Croft (England)
SH Danny Care (England)
FH Toby Flood (England)

Those are the players I am interested in getting off you, we can add players in I can include George.

I'm looking for cash plus a replacement hook.

No , I'v got a player in mind in the foreigner market and i'll need some cash for him.

Would need to be a better offer mate , Grey is the big hope along with Lindsey at 2 in English rugby where as Hawkins is 3rd choice at Leicester behind Chuter and Youngs.

Any chance of getting Tom Croft involved?

You right i'll ask for some one s hit. Ben Youngs


But seriously what about any of

Rob Webber
Graham Kitcherner
Miles Benjiman

Marler is NFS mate especially for someone who lasts 11 minutes in a LV game!

Could Deacon and Care be available?

scheming, I'm not quite sure. How could I pay you at the end of the season?

How much to borrow Cole?

I'll give you the £6 in payments?

I'll just pay it all now actually didn't relise i had £6m, wonderful thing this predicting should try it more often.

1.Joe Marler
2.Joe Grey
3.Dan Cole

Should do ok lol

Let me have a think for half an hour lol

Think I will pass mate. I'll save the money for a permanent transfer.

Not looking to make too many changes before the end of the season to be honest and as Miller is a starter its even more so the case, especially as i have no back up full back at the moment.

How much

How much more...wouldn't go over 20 but anything less I'd consider

£16m is a right tempter with recent form and only being 22/23. What price if I add Chris Jones?

I'd do George Robson for Graham Kitchener?

Won't do that for Deacon cos of injuries and age.

Would do £16 then

Pooly - beshocked keen on the Sarries job. Any issues? Thought it would be a good idea, regular contributor, knows his stuff, loves sarries, seemed obvious. Be great to get a full 12 managers again.

Week 18 - Luke Wallace
Week 19 - Miles Benjamin
Week 20 - Ben Youngs
Week 21 - Rob Webber
Week 22 - Craig Newby

Thanks, but not looking to lose cash. You did alright out of the injuries there fella! I'm not too upset about mine, except for 3 locks!

Don't know, think Glos, Irish, Wasps will all be quite upset!

Glad he was only a short term injury then!

How did you sign Jacob Rowan?

Catt
4
Rowan & Bowers?

Dream on!

Not overly interested, asked at least 3 times! No chance you're mugging me off like the others, in a deal though! Two championship prospects for catt is about right, but no biggy

yeah yeah, but in your own words, prospects are huge risks. Catt proven at prem level and every Bath and rugby fan knows he should start ahead of Flats, but Geech is a tool. Good riddance tomorrow i say

Just used to your fascist ways on these games, don't let them irritate as much these days! You're hissy fit earlier in the game really helped to mellow me out!

Really? I'm getting a bit tired of it on here to be honest, can't imagine how the other one must be!

Just had a chat with my mate who plays in the champ, wanted some scouting advice and was bored, so thought I'd try and snap up some youngsters.

I come on here for fun, can't be arsed with aggro, games and player slating. Seems like there is hardly ever any interesting debate on players and stuff, just people going on about who they think is Poopie. Such a PR thing on here, people say things about certain players to influence things and I haven't got the patience/energy for it.

"think you've got 3 signings" - what do you mean?

Tom Catterick - any good? Never seen him play

Ok cheers, didn't think he'd played much Prem rugby. He'll be behind Dagg, Vesty and Chisholm for a 15 shirt then I guess

If the team that goes down on here get properly relegated, I guess all of their players become available. Does that mean that Broussouw etc would be available as Champ players? I'm assuming not, but the likes of Wilson, Hodgson, would they be available as 1 of my 3 champ signings?

How about George for Launchbury?

Ok, that answers my question i think.

So if falcons go down and Bristol come up he will have the Briz squad plus a select few of the falcons.

Assuming he takes all of his foreigns with him. That leaves loads of other players available to be bought. So for example, if Flux chooses not to take Wilson, he then becomes a championship player and could then be one of the 3 signings?

Basically, what happens to the players that get relegated?

Cheers, does that mean he'll get to keep 10 Falcons players then?

Yeah agreed, looks really good, nice and physical, good hands and quick enough for 13 as well. But, as you said, always injured! Had a good run at end of last season and start of this one, but rarely fit for 2 games in a row! Hoping he will step up and cover for Frans during 3Ns.

To be brutally honest, didn't notice it was Clarke, just assumed it would be Downey there. Doesn't really change my opinion though, think Flood and Barnes are a bit samey and neither going great guns at the moment, that coupled with Care at 9 and I thought that you had 3 in a row in stuttering form in very key positions. Sorry!

I'm gutted to lose away to Sale, can't believe it and now you know why I'm annoyed everyone was slagging off Donald on the main page, as pretty much everyone nailed him in predos!

No one has ever complained about my predictions before, so don't take to your accusation too kindly. I was honest about the Clarke mistake, i'll happily change it, but still think Saints are the better side on this occasion and deserve the win, as almost everyone else agrees.

If you're unfussed why raise it? Hard to swallow after your accusation and is unfortunate it is the same time that you have lost, doesn't look great

As you say it is only a game, if you think I'm going to read every word and every player of every team in my predictions, you're going to be disappointed i'm afraid. From time to time i'll miss things out, but this one has little effect on the end result

Give it a rest then, i've apologised for an error. Never had any complaints in the way I predict since the old 606, so no need to go on. This is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about a few weeks ago, becoming very tiring

Its only really you that irritates me. Its that sort of patronising comment that winds me up.

You admitting you're winding me up has proven my point, so thanks. Its hard to take it from you because you have all the power in this league and everything exactly how you want it, so I can't do anything about it.

I've said before, debate is find, but wind ups is so unneccessary. I play games like this for fun, not to be wound up.

Starting teams, starting budgets, rules, injuries, bids, future rules and advance warning of anything that might or might not be coming up like U21 foreigns or whatever you decide to bring in, but apart from that, not much I guess.

The one time you got upset you cancelled the league. Not only that, removed all the information, so no one else could take it on! Before then, I had no issue at all, but lost a lot of respect for you in that and began to notice things.

I'm not going to quit, I enjoy this game.

I simply said that of all the teams and tactics and players and changes due to injuries, it appears I missed Clarke at 12. Of course I look at all the teams, against each other, I've talked on here many teams about how I rate players and teams etc and my predo's are normally some of the most in depth, even back on old 606 when you get no extra benefit for giving descriptions.

If you're going to wind someone up, don't be surprised when you get a reaction and don't take me for a fool, I know what's going on!
